Evaluating Risks from Antibacterial Medication Therapy Abstract ABSTRACT EVALUATING RISKS FROM ANTIBACTERIAL MEDICATION THERAPY USING AN OBSERVATIONAL PRIMARY CARE DATABASE Sharon B. Meropol Joshua P. Metlay Virtually everyone in the U.S. is exposed to antibacterial drugs at some point in their lives. It is important to understand the benefits and risks elatedr to these medications with nearly universal public exposure. Most information on antibacterial drug-associated adverse events comes from spontaneous reports. Without an unexposed control group, it is impossible to know the real risks for treated vs. untreated patients. We used an electronic medical record database to select a cohort of office visits for non-bacterial acuteespir r atory tract infections (excluding patients with pneumonia, sinusitis, or acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis), and compared outcomes of antibacterial drug-exposed vs. -unexposed patients. By limiting our assessment to visits with acute nonspecific espirr atory infections, we promoted comparability between exposed and unexposed patients. To further control for confounding by indication and practice, we explored methods to promote further comparability between exposure groups. Our rare outcome presented an additional analytic challenge. Antibacterial drug prescribing for acute nonspecific respiratory infections decreased over the study period, but, in contrast to the U.S., broad spectrum antibacterial prescribing remained low. Conditional fixed effects linear regression provided stable estimates of exposure effects on rare outcomes; results were similar to those using more traditional methods for binary outcomes. Patients with acute nonspecific espirr atory infections treated with antibacterial drugs were not at increased risk of severe adverse events compared to untreated patients. Patients with acute nonspecific espirr atory infections exposed to antibacterials had a small decreased risk of pneumonia hospitalizations vs. unexposed patients. This very small measurable benefit of antibacterial drug therapy for acute nonspecific espirr atory infections at the patient level must be weighed against the public health risk of emerging antibacterial resistance. Our data provide valuable point estimates of risks and benefits that can be used ot inform future decision analysis and guideline recommendations for patients with acute nonspecific espirr atory infections. Ultimately, improved point-of- care diagnostic testing may help direct antibacterial drugs to the subset of patients most likely to derive benefit.

    Comparison of antibiotics with placebo for treatment of acute sinusitis: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials Falagas ME, Giannopoulou KP, Vardakas KZ, Dimopoulos G, Karageorgopoulos DE CRD summary The review concluded that use of antibiotics for acute sinusitis conferred a small therapeutic benefit over placebo and a corresponding rise in adverse events. The authors' conclusions were supported by the evidence presented, but limitations in the reporting of review process should be taken into consideration when interpreting these results. Authors' objectives To investigate the effectiveness and safety of antibiotics compared with placebo for acute sinusitis. Searching PubMed and Scopus databases were searched up to May 2008; search terms were reported. Bibliographic references of all relevant articles were handsearched. Papers published in languages other than English, Spanish, French, Italian and German or presented as conference abstracts were excluded. Study selection Double-blinded, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that compared antibiotic treatment with placebo for patients of any age with acute sinusitis (of any location) were eligible for inclusion. Diagnosis of acute sinusitis was required to be determined by either clinical criteria or positive radiological, microbiological or laboratory tests. Trials that included patients with mixed types of sinusitis or mixed types of respiratory tract infections were included only if data on the subgroup of patients with acute sinusitis were reported separately or if a clinical diagnosis of acute sinusitis was supported for more than two thirds of the study population. The most commonly compared antibiotic was amoxicillin, other antibiotics included phenoxymethyl-penicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, doxycycline, azithromycin, cefuroxime and ciclacillin. All study medications were administered orally.
